What is that
My daddy who has yet to turn up in my bed
XC2 character.
Can we admit for a second some of BW’s dumber moments
-The fact going into a Bug gym that he boxed his Flying type
-Brought only Palpitoad to Elesa and then got a Grass type to fight a Flying type
-The fact he chose to use a Krokorok versus Swobat when *correct me if I’m wrong, had no dark moves on it
-Never told us exactly why Cilan hated Purrloin
Ash never caught Rufflet (This ones more a personal one, but it looks like it would fit his team)
The anime takes liberties with type advantages Because the focus of the anime is to have cool looking battles, the anime isn’t an rpg. Literally when anyone complains about how ash is “dumb” Because he ignores type advantages i get the strongest urge to punch them.
Also, as i recall bringing in palpitoad to fight elesa was done on purpose because it’s part Ground.
As for the swoobat vs Krokorok, again anime takes liberties with type advantages, besides stuff like this has happened in every series.
Bw is utter trash,but not because of the reasons you listed
But they mention type advantages many times in the anime. They should either delete type advantages as a concept, or make Ash follow them.
BW was a (soft) reboot and they made Ash a dumb novice again. What pissed me off the most was Pikachu losing to a lv5 Snivy literally 2 months after he defeated a Latias.
I still believe in the reset theory where Pikachu resets its level each Gen. to make it fair
No. That’s dumb.
The writers are just put in a bad spot because they refuse to change the protagonist of the anime so ash has to keep getting weaker to avoid a power creep
But Pikachu didnt got that treatment in Kalos and Alola?
Not in Kalos.
Kinda sucks my Scraggy has Timid but I forgot to check when I caught it so I’m just stuck with her since I’ve leveled her up so much. I suppose a boost in speed is good since her attack stat is still pretty crazy
I’m still salty over Blacepalon not being timid…I was so close…
When I was a kid I had a dream that down the street from me I found a field behind one of my neighbor’s houses. In its was a field of flowers. In that field I was able to catch starter Pokemon. In my head I was thinking that normally starters aren’t something you can find in the wild so this was incredibly rare. I believe no had this dream sometime after gen 2 and before gen 3 came out. I’ve always been fond of that dream despite it being a very simple one.
Pokemon/Digimon dreams are always a nice surprise
I remember the most recent a Pokemon dream I had (kinda foggy), took place in the a cloudy area kinda and I was with the Advanced Protags. And we were walking through and we started getting chased by a Steelix. Steelix then started to attack Nosepasses and May was like “Oh no! It must be because the Nosepass use photosynthesis!!” Then the dream ended
Love having Pokemon and anime dreams. They’re typically fun and adventurous.
I still remember my most bizarre dream ever
I was a Nuzleaf inside a house, one of the kinds of houses in Pokémon MD Red Rescue Team. I was with Olaf from Frozen and Patrick Star and we were sort of having a cheesy cartoon like adventure in the house…
I still question how my mind made that dream in the first place.
Hahahaha that sounds like a really fun dream actually
Oh it was…. It was

DS Pokemon games are the best in the franchise
Fight me
Nah I agree. Including spin offs (@ PMD Explorers, Ranger, and Conquest)
That’s just your opinion
Which are facts
Agreed tho?
The Spin-off’s too. Heck the Nintendo DS deserves the title of second highest selling system in history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles
Soley because it has fifth gen which was god tier
It also has Platinum and HGSS, both solid entries as well as the best time for spinoffs
At time of release or as of now?
both? idk
This isn’t an opinion….objectively this is a FACT. I’m not even joking.
This is true judging how D/P topped sales over all except the Gen.1 and 2 main games Which you really can’t fight being as they were in their times thought as some of the greatest games in history.
nah
In sales I mean knowing the beginning of a series usually is the biggest and baddest seller of all. Mario and Wii games support this
sales isn’t indicative of the quality of a game though
But I was meaning you can’t really beat their sales. Of course quality of Gen.5 and 7 and basically every Gen. is better in quality then the first 2 games
The DS had 8 core series games in total, if I remember correctly
Only the original DP were somewhat bad. Platinum was decent. HGSS were solid remakes and Gen 5 was amazing.
So yeah I guess so.
We’ve had 8 3DS games as well I believe.
-X&Y: Horrible. Worst in the series. Let’s pray this will always be true.
-ORAS: Good. GF didn’t go above and beyond with them though, they almost don’t feel like remakes because of this
-S/M: Good enough. I’ll admit a bit boring and the hand holding is somehow progressed to a point where it affects the quality of the game
-USUM: Just bad and embarrassing. I know tons of dedicated pokemon players who didn’t even bother buying them.
And then we had 6 Gameboy games and 5 Gameboy Advanced (I think? I’m not counting Green/Blue as separate games)
GB/GBC – Good for the time
GBA – Great
DS – Fantastic
3DS – Good
Watch 3ds ending up becoming ‘good for the time’ in a near future
I agree. You know you had a good 2 generations on the DS when Diamond and Pearl are considered the worst of them. They’re not bad. But that’s the thing with Platinum, it actually made improvements unlike USUM, which pretty much only changed how quickly you get the starters. Woop.
Green and Blue really shouldn’t be separate because they are the exact same game just with a different color name. So I agree with you there bud
Blue had certain bug fixes and graphical updates tbf
True, but it’s not really enough for me classify them as separate games
oh yeah, just pointing it out
And actually it was 9 games on the DS
-D/P/Pt
-HG/SS
-B/W
-B2/W2
They truly are, except DP, all DS Pokemon games were really good, even some spin offs too
I sincerely hope next gen synchronize is 100%
Or just let us change the natures. I mean we are literally able to modify every other aspect….expect the nature.
That and gender (which I would totally be fine with altering if they let us >.>)
I’m down for transgender pokemon
You must love Marill then
Marill is ok
But like
Sylveon is a living transflag
I was making a bit of a joke knowing till Gen.6 your Azurill has like a 1/3 chance of swapping genders upon evolution due to GF messing up their Gender ratio
yeah
i know
You might as well be able to change the pokemon lol
I mean, wynaut
hmm.. how about a stadium series that has a showdown styled team builder and focuses on competitive with the current battle system :3 :3 :3
And actually let the main series develop
How about no.
Why
My friend actually mentioned an idea that I liked for a change in style
What if we turned more into Conquest style in a way where they move as units and then once you make it to each other than a turn based system kicks in
Makes those who want turn based to stay happy and its a nice change of pace for those who want more (I think Mario+Rabids kingdom battle uses this exact same kind of battle style as well)
nah lets just make another conquest
cant believe they didn’t make more. that game is awesome
Meh … why not just implement PokeGen as a post game feature…
Considering gender has absolutely no impact whatsoever it doesn’t bother me at all.
It has a huge effect on breeding and can complicate things.
I mean it has no impact on competitive Pokemon. Of course it’s usefull for breeding.
But a Pokemon doesn’t become useless if its Gender is ‘wrong’ as it would be if any other factors such as IVs, EVs and Nature are incorrect.
True, but I’m mainly only speaking from a breeding perspective 😛
Ok this is completely random, but I ALWAYS confuse you and Chaos. You both have steel type Pokemon Avi’s I just think you both are one person until you reply to each other. I cant tell you apart honestly.
Am I that indistinguishable? https://i.imgur.com/FtGtYZ7.gif
If it makes feel any better Im the most forgotten and disliked one here
You’re right, I do forget and dislike you /s
Your name isn’t Prima or Luna sooo
I love Phlask so much, why is this thing so cute and cool at the same time? Its a shame its not in the sage Demo tho 🙁
Oh and what type best fits a Snowman, Ice/Fighting? Ice/Ghost? Ice/Psychic?
Ice/Ghost could be cool, but I think the best typing would be Ice/Rock with a Coal theme, Maybe evolving into Ice/Fire?…
Fairy or Ghost. Like maybe when someone builds one and leaves it out in the snow a ghost or fairy inhabits its body
I like an Ice/Fairy type actually sounds like it would just make a better choice
Depends if you want to add more motifs on the snowman, if it’s just a snowman then pure ice imo
Ikr, it should be avaible in the demo
Then the demo works fantastically because it makes the player desire something that’s only available in the full game
I can’t wait for the full version so I can get some of the great Pokémon in Sage
So I’ve finally made it to Johto in the anime in my (master) quest to watch the series over again. I’m debating putting myself through the BW anime, but we shall cross that terribly built bridge when we get to it. For now I’m going to enjoy my trek down memory lane. I’m even watching the movies at the points in time where they should be watched in the series. There isn’t an exact time for them technically, but I’ve found a page on Dogasu’s Backpack where he puts them in the timeline as best as possible.
I’m slowly doing the same thing (also in Johto) and I will be skipping BW
It’s one of those things were I actually really love Unova and all its Pokemon, but the anime f*cked it up so bad that idk if I can take it……I loved Cilan, but Iris is SOOOOOOOOOO awful…………
Iris is the worst ever
and it sucks too because i actually like her and her design. The BW anime just ruins everything
I really liked her in the game. Her design is decent and she’s got a lot of potential, but like you said……….her anime counterpart…………..Blech…….
Oh yeah her design is great. Idk what happened
Yuuuuuup
Iris = Worst Companion ever (Her Team except Emolga was her redeeming factor)
100% agreement over here
…bitch

HE USED WATER TYPES AND REPLACED STEVEN. WATER TYPES. IN GEN 3.
It’d be cool if there was a twist where he’s revealed to be real boss of team Aqua
Shout out to Slim Shady the Scraggy for being the best pokemon on my team. Its so freaking good
I believe everything from that area is just great
Scraggy are terrific, Sandile evolves to become awesome, Darumaka is Godly and if adding Sequels Chinchino and Trubbish are too!
Ya know what I enjoyed from Sun and Moon? The side quests where people would ask you to catch a pokemon and bring it to them. It’s a small thing but it really encourages catching more pokemon in a game where it can be really easy to just catch your 6 team members and nothing else
I enjoyed doing the quests where you just needed to show them the dex entry…….and since I have a living dex and transferred them over asap I’ basically just talk to them and they’d give me the stuff right away hahaha
I wish quests involved more battling instead if just catching Pokemon.
I mean have NPCs ask us to clear out areas, with LVL limits so we couldn’t breeze through them with our main team forcing us to use alternative Pokemon…
I want a wide variety of side quests, like item gathering, thieving from a specific foe, doing side activities, etc
Side quests that actually tell stories would be cool too.
USUM has some cool word building side quests but they miss out on the opportunity to have quest storyline and stuff which is kinda sad
Like the Yancy quest would be great, they just needed to make it not dumb
Sage could be a real awesome fan game if it had some more areas, or made some pokemon evolve at a higher level
its a demo
Yeah, but if it will add more areas with higher level pokemon, some of the pokemon will be like Jangmo-o in Sun/Moon
No absolutely not!!! Half of the beginning of the game evolves at level 30 or mid to high 20’s!!
A reason why I kicked Pengliff to the curb because it did absolutely nothing, but stall and then for its opponent to heal and it still had a long way till evolution
Your name reminds me of that stupid line Vegeta says to Goku in the Ocean Dub of Z: “Your father was a brilliant scientist!”
One small problem I have with Black and White’s world design and now that I think about it, alot of regions have this problem, they make the place where you revive fossils way before you can actually get the fossil making you either have to backtrack or wait for fly
Truuu. Kanto and Kalos are the only regions without this problem (to an extent Alola and maaaaaaybe sinnoh).
Kalos was fine, but Kanto you got fossils after first gym couldnt revive them until right before 7th gym and they revived at level 20. So they def need to fix this
I typically Box the Fossil (excluding Anorith and Cranidos) because I already have the types they are or want something better
Sylveon > Amaura
Sigilyph > Archen
Dewott > Tirtouga
Goomy > Tyrunt
…
ok but Archeops
You mean Chicken burb? Its ability mixed with its move are underwhelming
uh.. fam…
have you seen its attack stat?
Still not as Powerful as the best Fossil
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7586d896807ec080e9017508d4e1759f62162eb089466936e717679599257fb5.png
Fam… my level 25 Docile Archen has a 67 attack stat.
Combine that with Acrobatics. It’s insane
Oh and can I point out that Cottonee gets Giga Drain AT LEVEL 26?
THATS AMAZING. COMBINE THAT WITH THE BIG ROOT AND YOU’RE GOONA F*CK EVERYONE UP
Favorite bike theme? Black and White’s has always been my favorite. Those handclaps tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJLW1aXLkTg
Oh heck definitely DP, one of my fav `pieces of the whole game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JJy3SWa53g
I wish bicycles were back tho…
Really I love them all, but probably D/P because I’m a Sinnoh Whore and also it’s just so different from the others
Sinnoh Slut*
Alliterations are awesome
Oh boy, Pop Team Epic premieres tomorrow. It’s gonna be hilarious
Team update

Why is the bird’s name so perfect tho
:3
I got RE4 HD on PS4. It was kind of unnecessary since I have the original on GameCube, but idc
HOLYFUCKOMG https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/df6b304102f277ca5a5b55ceab807ce0e6aa17ddefadbcd0b0442b909faaad6f.jpg
Congrats on finding a wild Shiny!
IS IT GOOD IN GAME? SHOULD I USE IT ON MY TEAM?
I mean it sucks but feel free too
regwgwegWGWH4H
I probably wont, Galvantula will be better but holy sh*t dude
(kinda mad it wasnt a cottonee but hey)
Solid EXP gains for fainting it
How dare you
A shiny is a Shiny no matter how odd
Eh, just put in bank. Doubt it’ll be useful in a run
Still really excited! This is my first shiny I’ve gotten in gen 5
Check nature, may be nice for mega evolves in teh future
I will when I finish level grinding
Hmm
@TheLastKurusu:disqus Nice choice fora profile pic! That boi is great
Thanks I love how it sprays anything with gas just to watch and see what happens *Trainer melts and it dashes away
Oh yeah Im playing through gen 5 too with star
So yeh
I’ll show y’all my team soon
I started then forgot to bring my Ds to my Grandma’s this morning 🙁
All I got is Levi the Snivy
I would ask to join in but I’m not playing Pokémon for the year
oh but this is a good Pokémon game
I’m just sick of the game play tbh, i feel like if I play anymore I’ll be turned off Gen 8
Lol fair enough
People playing BW makes me happy :3
Eight srs… terrible nature… why https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bfc3079493cb87485d3175572978c93974f53f32712107279b39b4075a517eba.jpg
Ugh……my one regret about getting UM is that I’ll never have a shiny Blacephalon. I have a shiny Stakataka, but it’s not nearly as cool as Blacephalon…….*sigh*….oh well….
🙁
I know………I…..know………… :/
Hmmm… should I keep growth or teach Charm to Cottonee?
I’m not ready for Eliza… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f60e3ecf6e56ea8b414a27e336e0ec6062e53db538b9baf4a8ee92385c6e4ab2.jpg
You mean Elesa?
Mistakeu
Honestly I’m not ready for Eliza either, she literally misses everything
lol
She’s my only hope against the zeb
Already that far? How long have you been playing?
Also nice for having a Sigilyph in the team :O
2 days basically
And thanks! After using one in comp I got oddly attached to it and felt compelled to use one
Yay a Dwebble
I honestly thought it would be shitty but it’s carrying its weight really well
Moves?
Rock slide, bug bite, Rock Polish, faint attack
